Mike Dube spent one season in Hudson coaching the Hawks freshman boys basketball team. Dube is now back in Hudson, this time as the head coach of Hudson Catholic’s girls basketball squad.

For the past three seasons, Dube has been an assistant women’s hoop coach at Worcester State. The Lancers won the MASCAC title in 2006. In addition to Hudson, Dube also coached on the high school level at Bromfield.

"It was a difficult decision to leave Worcester State, but I wanted to get back to coaching at the high school level," said Dube. "I wanted the opportunity to run my own program."

"The fact that he coached at the collegiate level at Worcester State was certainly instrumental in the decision to hire him," said Raymond. "He also has a lot of enthusiasm, which was another plus."

Dube replaces Lou Petrovic, who resigned during the off-season. The Green Wave finished 12-7 last season, losing in the first round of the Central sectional tournament.

"Hudson Catholic has traditionally done well in the regular season," said Dube. "I’d like to see if we can take the program to the next level and maybe win a game or two in the district tournament."

A resident of Sterling, Dube grew up in Worcester. He played basketball in high school in Worcester at St. Mary’s. Dube has run a painting business for several years.
